Possibly worth mentioning that the reason why iPlayer (and
RadioPlayer) are not great on other platforms is that both product
infrastructures currently force us to produce static pages rather than
sensibly database-derived products.
iPlayer v2.0 is less than a month away; the backend redesign means
dynamically-generated niceness for Wii, iPhone, and other platforms
will be much easier.

I don't have a Wii so can't test, but great seeing this stuff
happen, when platforms grow around 'open' content. (Not starting an
open content thread here, you know what I mean) - I have a 360, and
I wonder how difficult it would be to stream to that. It supports
UPnP servers, so you'd need a PC with a server app and transcoder,
not as efficient as the Wii.
If they opened a web browser up on it, then that would be something.
